Gardens by Night: Step Behind the Camera With Top Photographers

It's common to stroll through the great gardens of the world by day, but how many people have seen them at night? At night, the brilliant colors of the plants and flowers fade into the background and the contrast of light and dark brings new colors as well as the shapes and contours of the garden into focus for a whole new view of these beautifully constructed landscapes. National Geographic Live! hosts a presentation by Diane Cook and Len Jenshel, two of America's leading photographers, who have collaborated for years to combine documentary and fine art photography. The result is stunningly beautiful images in unlikely places. For this National Geographic event, they photographed gardens during nighttime hours, juxtaposing creative lighting with carefully sculpted landscapes for unforgettable, arresting images. The photographers will show off their amazing images and share the stories behind the pictures.
